1. Unfolding band-structure calculations allow for an intuitive visualization of how bands couple to external symmetry breakers like lattice distortions or defects.
2. These calculations help explain how hyperdoped sulfur in silicon leads to metallic behavior through the emergence of a highly dispersive defect band merging with the conduction band.
3. The calculations provide insight into the effect of varying sulfur concentration on the electronic structure of sulfur-doped silicon.

? VI. Conclusion:
1. Unfolding band-structures allow an intuitive visualization of
each band¡¯s coupling to the external symmetry breakers (eg.
lattice distortion, defects, etc.)
2. Hyperdoped-sulfur-induced metallic silicon (Black-silicon)
attributed to highly dispersive defect band that merges with
the conduction bands can be understood in terms of our
unfolding band-structures calculation.
